Algorithms for the Last 2 Edges of Big Cubes (Advanced)

* Note, I got Y & Z mixed up throughout the tutorial. *

This tutorial teaches you to new algorithms for the last two edges of the 5x5 & 7x7 cubes.
(After learning the ones for the 5x5, there's nothing new to learn on the 6x6. But there is some extra information you need for the 7x7.)

For an advanced method for the rest of the edges, check out Rob's tutorial:

Here are the algorithms used:

R U Ll' U R' U' R
(Flipping Algorithm)

{Uu2 Rr2 (y z) U2} r2 {U2 (z' y') Rr2 Uu2}
(y & z are correct)

(Lll Rr) U2 Lll' U2 Rr' U2 x' U2 Rr' U2 Rr U2 Rr' U2 Rr2

[Ll' U2] [Ll' U2] x U2 Ll' U2 Lll U2 Rr' U2 Ll2

{Ll U2 Ll2 U2 Ll' U2} Ll {U2 Ll' U2 Ll2 U2 Ll}

all these parenthesis and brackets! i feel like im back in my algebra 2 math class

[d12ckool]

....why do a triple l when u can do an r'??

I watched up to 07:12 of this video. Then I saw "(Advanced)" in the video title.

I can't do this.

[thesupercuber101]

does this work on a 6x6 and a 7x7 too

[metfan583]

This video was no help to me because you went wayyy too fast.

[TallminJ]

Why can you go slower? Is it really that hard to go slower? Im not haring, but this is very stressful and annoying the way that people teach.

[Mushi98]

dude the flipping algorithm is scrambling the cute (both centers and solved edges)

i made sure im doing it right. what the hell is this?

[garretthegrreatt]

this is grreatt!

i think the only problem I have is with my 7x7. I just got it for Christmas, and I'm confused with the last 2 edges. I can't seem to find the algorithm(s) to solve the last 2.

@MatthewAustinQuasel Actually, nvm. I was thinking of a different one.

[MatthewAustinQuasel]

For the first one, couldn't u have done a R2, Uu2, Bb2, used the flipping algorithm then Uu2 and Bb2? It's easier to memorize and for me it's faster.

@d12ckool if you do an Rr', to get the same permutation of the pieces, you would need to do an unnecessary cube rotation

SLOW THE F DOWN WHEN YOU DEMONSTRATE.
